Loja do Cidadão / Espaço Cidadão
State one-stop shops where the tax office, Segurança Social, the registry office, transport and other services are housed in a single hall. Espaço Cidadão is a smaller version, often at the junta de freguesia. You can also activate Chave Móvel Digital and change your address there.
Where you come across it. Almost any everyday dealings with the state.
Almost all of them work by appointment; without a marcação you may simply not be seen.
